Jason Statham can act. He became famous before he starting doing action movies and Jackie Chan is from a studio, a legendary studio of actors and ar238tist. Both of them can act and are pretty good. To mention Adkins in the same paragraph as them is a insult to both of them.
Making millions or having a big name does not mean anything when it domes to ability and talent..Kim Kardashian and so many others are proof of that. If Adkins could act he would have been a star by now. Instead a strait to DVD guy. -

Statham is a very limited actor at best. Adkins is better than him. Adkins can actually do different accents. Statham couldn't do anything other than his own accent to save his life.
Your comments are based on nothing other than prejudice. Adkins has mostly stuck to direct to video movies because the best action film makers are working outside of the mainstream. In the mainstream, almost every director wants to do shaky cam and horrible editing. To see the best action in the English language, you have to watch some of the direct to video movies that come out and that's why Adkins has stuck there because he wants to put out quality action films rather than the shaky cam garbage of Hollywood.
If Adkins could act he would have been a star by now.
You're understanding of Hollywood works is so simplistic it's laughable. Many so called "stars" are crummy actors. Arnold Schwarzenegger has never been known as a good actor. Keanu Reeves has been an ongoing joke of how bad of an actor he is. And January Jones is universally considered a terrible actress yet she is on one of the top TV shows in the US and has been cast in major film roles.
Hollywood is largely about who you know and less about how much you know. -

Just saw this thread nowI can't believe some people want to claim Statham is limited. He's a fantastic action guybut he started with dramas and, as it turns out, is probably at his best in comedies (Spy, Crank, etc.). Statham is phenomenal, all around. Much better than Adkins when it comes to acting. And Statham is more attractive overall.
Adkins is great, but there's a reason Statham has found more success. -

For these types of movies, it's not the star that will bring the masses, it's the character. Batman done well is all you need. Scott Adkins can be bigger than Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Have a scene were Adkins destroys street thugs like he did in that clip I linked, and without the cancer voice and he will OWN! Scott Adkins is Batman.

People that think Scott Adkins would be perfect as Batman in a big budget, major motion picture have really got to put down the crack pipe and deal with reality.
Warner Bros. is not going to invest 1/4 of a billion dollars to let some b-movie, steroid hack star in their biggest franchise ok?
If you guys are 5b4so opposed to having Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight then simply don't watch it when it's released. Stop yer stupid bitchin and cryin and boycott the film to let WB know you weren't happy.
Trouble is - the film and he(Ben) will be better then you could have anticipated and you will have to watch the movie in the end so seriously STFU for now. Thanks. -

Gotta love the stereotype thinking here. "Guy has muscles so he must use steroids".
Anyway, your logic is asinine because they invested the same amount of money into Henry Cavill who was pretty unknown before Man Of Steel.

Well, after reading that childish blabber I can see that the "kid" part in your screen name fits your perfectly.
